Synopsis

It is a historic story of a young man who travels from England via Australia, in the early 1820s, to become an ordained minister and set up a Wesleyan Mission in the Hokianga, in Northland, New Zealand.

The story portrays the relationships, frustrations, conflicts and troubled times with the early settlers, the native Maori people and their Chiefs, especially Chief Te Aara, Tamati Waka Nene and Patuone.

There is his special love for his devoted wife Jane, their learning, teaching and preaching, their unjustified exile to Tonga, then his reinstatement two years later to the Weslyan Mission in the Hokianga, culminating in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi at Horeke, in the Hokianga.

Gypsy Girl is a musical story about Richi, a half-gypsy girl. Richi’s parents died when she was quite young so she lived with her old Aunt in a Gypsy wagon. When her old Aunt dies, Rithi is left destitute.

She was forced to go to school. At school, the children dislike her, she is too different from them and she stinks. Their dislike leads to hatred and violence. They torment, tease, bully and finally mob Richi, thinking they have killed her.

Later, full of remorse, the children try to make amends and become friends, but find Richi too stubborn, too proud and perhaps too deeply hurt.

Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess (also called Robyn Hood and her Women of Sherwood) is based loosely on the traditional tales of Robin Hood. It is essentially a fantasy, the setting of which is timeless and whose characters can be played by actors from any ethnic or cultural group. Consequently, there is no “correct” way to stage it. Costumes and sets can be based on traditional medieval designs or on contemporary trends. Thus, the Sheriff of Nottingham could be dressed in traditional costume complete with robes and chains of office, or as a fantasy character whose makeup and costume reflects the styles of today’s rock stars.
